A—12 &« ROOSEVELT YL CELEBRATON GAY Christmas Trees, Wreaths Arrive for Series of Parties. The White House today began to take on Yuletide atmosphere as Christmas wreaths were hung about the hallways and windows of the mansion and Executive Office. Over the front doorway was hung a handsome wreath, 3 feet in di- ameter, made with laurel and holly. Others were made of green pine cones. On each side of the doorway has been placed a large Christmas tree adorned with colored electric lights. At each end of the front part of the portico are two more Christmas trees with colored light ornamentation. Inside, in the main lobby a wreath 5 feet in diameter has been hung on the two side walls and at various points in the lobby and the adjoining corridors are small pine trees, without ornamentation. Before Christmas eve, a number of poinsettia plants, as well as twigs of holly and sprays of mistletoe will be added to the decorations. Following the custom started last year oy the Roosevelts, a Christmas tree for the public has been placed at the south end of the historic east room. This tree, which is 25 feet in height, and which is for public in- spection, will be trimmed with white electric bulbs and the proverbial Christmas tree icicles. At the upper- most point of the tree will be a large lluminated star. Family Tree Upstairs. The Roosevelt family tree will be placed st the east end of the main hallway on the second floor of the | &Jr] mansion. About this tree will be placed some of the smaller presents for members of the presidential family. The tree will be trimmed in the customary manner. This tree has been chemically treated to prevent fire from the wax candles with colored reflectors, which will be used for illumination. The Roosevelts prefer this old-fashioned conception of Christmas tree lighting. 1L will be about this large, attrac- tively trimmed tree that the happy family in the White House gathers on Christmas morning for the exchange of greetings and Christmas gifts. This 1s another old custom of the Roosevelt family. The President’s 80-year-old mother, Mrs. Sars Delano Roosevelt, is coming down from her home, &t Hyde Park on the Hudson River, to be with her son and his family and her great-grandchildren. Mr. Roosevelt will follow his usual Christmas eve custom, dating back to the first years of his married life, by gathering the members of his house- hold about him in the large oval sit- ting room on the second floor of the ‘White House, on Christmas eve, while he reads Charles Dickens’ “A Chrisi- mas Carol.” Afterward Mrs. Roose- velt and members of the family will place presents, mostly toys for the grandchildren, sbout the tree. Family to Be Present. 1t was said at the White House to- day that with the exception of El- liott Roosevelt, the second son of President and Mrs. Roosevelt, and his wife and infant daughter, all mem- bers of the President’s immediate family will spend Christmas at the ‘White House. Christmas dinner will take place at 7:30 pm. and will be featured by a large turkey sent to the White House by an admirer of the President. ‘This bird is one of nearly a dozen sent to the President and Mrs. Roose- velt by friends in various parts of the country. Most of these turkeys will be him last year, when he, with Mrs. Roosevelt, received all members of the Executive and White House staff. and doormen ,the clerks, secretaries and assistant secretaries, secret serv- ice and members of their families. For each the President and Mrs. Roosevelt will have a small gift, as well as & handshake and word of greeting. Presents for President. Neither Mrs. Roosevelt nor the Pres- ident himself has revealed what she or he has bought in the way of pres- ents for each other. It is known, though, that Mrs. Roosevelt’s presents for her husband include a number of neckties—“just the kind he likes.” Two_of them are understopd to be gray and several blue and some green. At 5 p.m.-Christmas eve the Presi- dent and Mrs. Roosevelt, with mem- bers of the family, willgo to Lafayette Park; across the street ‘White mvmmmm the button to illuminate the com: ‘munity Christmas tree, after which they will listen to the ceremonies, which will include carol singing. The afternoon of December 28 the White House will be the scene of a party for the grandchildren, to which 8 hundred or so youngsters between the ages of 3 and 10 have been in- vited. There will be a Santa Claus on hand with large bags to distribute toy presents, and Mrs. Roosevelt and her daughter, Mrs. Anna Roosevelt Dall, will arrange a number of games. Another feature of the entertainment of the little children will be the presence of a magician and the pro- gram will also include the singing of children’s songs, There will also be a8 marionette show to enliven the party. ‘There will be a dance on the night of December 29 for the “younger Roosevelts,” at which about 300 young 1s and young men have been in- vited, Miss Barbara Cushing and Miss Jean Martineau will be guests of honor and a large number of Harvard stu- dents, friends of Franklin, jr, and John Roosevelt, will also be present. A supper for the “younger Roose- velts” will be held at the White House on New Year eve and this will be fol- lowed by dancing. Spain Replaces Bust.
